Start your morning with these perfect Blueberry Pancakes! Waffles and pancakes are a staple in our household. A few of the most popular recipes on my blog are this easy homemade pancake mix (or homemade waffle mix), coffee pancakes, and these fluffy sheet pan pancakes (oven baked pancakes). And why not? Making pancakes at home couldn’t be any easier with this simple pancake mix from scratch. And it’s one of our favorites too, so much so that, I got my family an electric griddle, just so that I can make multiple pancakes at once. You just add the wet ingredients to the pre-made pancake mix and voilà, light and fluffy pancakes, whenever you fancy!
Blueberry pancakes
While regular, fluffy pancakes are good and all, I demand more deliciousness from my homemade pancakes! That’s why I love adding fillings and flavors to my pancakes. Just like how blueberry muffins take your basic muffins to a whole new level. Chocolate chip pancakes, banana pancakes, peanut butter pancakes, pumpkin pancakes, all make regular appearances on our weekend brunch menu. And that’s where these fluffy, homemade Easy Blueberry Pancakes also come into the picture! 🙂 Chock-full of sweet, juicy blueberries, these blueberry pancakes are my favorite way to eat blueberries (when I’m not popping them in my mouth straight out of the punnet). And they are so easy when made with my easy homemade pancake mix. But hey, you don’t have to pre-make the pancake mix to make these pancakes either. I’ve shared the whole recipe here to make these pancakes from scratch, as well as the recipe for making blueberry pancakes from pancake mix. And even better, you can easily adapt this recipe to make sheet pan blueberry pancakes (oven baked blueberry pancakes) like I’ve done in my regular sheet pan pancakes recipe. This is an especially great option if you’re serving a crowd.
Tips for the BEST blueberry pancakes
If you have time, beat the egg whites separately. This adds more air into your pancakes, making them lighter and fluffier. It’s optional though, I’ve made this pancake batter with whole eggs as well as with separated eggs, and they are just as delicious either way. Be generous with the blueberries! This goes without saying. 🙂 I like to make sure each pancake gets about a scant ¼ cup of blueberries. Each pancake is about ½ cup of batter (a total of about 8-9 pancakes per batch). This comes out to about 2 dry pints of blueberries per batch. Don’t add the blueberries into the pancake batter. Some recipes call for the blueberries to be tossed in flour and then mixed into the pancake batter. The flour does prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the bowl. However, I prefer to add the blueberries directly onto the pancakes when making them. This way I can make sure each pancakes gets an equal amount of blueberries, and they are evenly distributed through the pancakes as well. Make your own homemade pancake mix so that breakfast pancakes are easier and faster. Rather than having to weigh out all the dry ingredients in the morning, make a big batch of pancake mix and store it for whenever you’re craving delicious pancakes.
How to make blueberry pancakes for a crowd
Leave cooked pancakes on a wire rack to prevent pancakes from getting soggy, while you cook the rest. Leave the pancakes covered with a cloth napkin in a warm oven. But don’t leave them in there for too long though, as this can make the pancakes dry out. The BEST way to make these pancakes for a crowd though is to make them in a half sheet pan! Just follow my sheet pan pancakes recipe here, and sprinkle blueberries all over the batter before baking it.
I also like to add a little cinnamon to my homemade blueberry pancake batter. The combination of blueberries, cinnamon and maple syrup is fantastic! The blueberries are slightly softened in these pancakes, and bursting with sweet, juicy flavor with every single bite! And the pancakes are light and fluffy. My homemade pancake mix is loved by my readers, and you know the blueberries are only going to make it better! 🙂 If you liked this homemade blueberry pancakes recipe, don’t forget to subscribe for new (and free) recipes by entering your email address in the subscription box below the recipe card (and get all these recipes delivered straight to your inbox), so you don’t miss out on a thing.
